University of Louisville pulls funding from student newspaper. Could this mean the end? - Thomas Novelly, The Courier-Journal

The University of Louisville could soon be the only college in the Atlantic Coast Conference without a campus newspaper. Amid the university's $48-million budget shortfall, school officials told the student journalism staff they would cease funding for the independent student newspaper, the Louisville Cardinal, by the end of the 2018 spring semester. "We're caught in the middle of the university's financial problems," said Jenni Laidman, chair of the Louisville Cardinal board of directors. "We don't know what the future's going to hold ... but it could mean the end of the Cardinal." http://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/local/2017/09/18/u-l-stops-financial-support-campus-newspaper/676326001/
